One of the best ways Low Power radio applicants can prepare to apply is to start to look for viable tower/trasnmitter sites. (The tower/transmitter site is where the transmitter and antenna live, and it may or may not be at the same location as the studio). You will learn what do you need to keep in mind when looking for a tower site, from coverage, location, terrain to FCC regulations.

In the winter of 2013 the FCC will be opening the first “fully implemented” Low Power FM (LPFM) application window, opening up the airwaves for hundreds of communities across the US. Nonprofits such as PEG stations are eligible to apply for LPFM licenses and make great candidates since many have the existing infrastructure and community support to successfully launch a station.
